Looking for something funny like The Shipping News or A Walk in the Woods. Thank you all! by sick_yeti Related: Been doing a lot of “searching” for self. Suggest me a book that is similar to The Invisible Library series by Genevieve Cogman. What are your bleakest, darkest apocalyptic book recommendations Children’s chapter books where the story heavily features transportation Books about the US Marines during World War 1
skybluepink77 on November 15, 2023 12:43 pm The Shipping News is funny?! I must have missed the gags…though it’s a brilliant book. Try Proulx’s That Old Ace In The Hole which actually is her attempt [not entirely successful] to be satirical/humorous. Bryson’s The Lost Continent, though somewhat out of date now, is very funny about America.
boxer_dogs_dance on November 15, 2023 5:45 pm I haven;t read them yet but try At the Back Booth at Chappy’s or Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistlestop Cafe. One I have read and love is Up the Down Staircase
